says Hank Boerner, managing director of PR agency Rowan & Blewitt. "It's not just targets of opportunity.
He's saying, Look, the role of government is to be a facilitator to ensure that the markets run smooth
and fair, and if it's ... transparent and so forth, we're going to have stronger markets and a stronger
Wall Street, stronger corporations." In pursuing companies, Spitzer goes far beyond what other state
attorneys general have seen as their role.

LIBN at 50: 1953-2003; 1996: Still working on Long Island's Rail Road(Long Island Business News (LIBN), 1996, By Natalie Cavanor)In recent years, billions in tax dollars have modernized the railroad and improved
customer satisfaction. But critics contend that it's taken more money and mistakes than necessary to
achieve that progress. "It's subject to the political process, very powerful unions, whims, vicissitudes,
partisan criticisms, the weight of tradition good or bad," says Hank Boerner, now a crisis communications
consultant who worked for the LIRR from 1969 to 1973. "It's marvelous that it runs as well as it does.
It's shaped Long Island and we take it for granted, probably pay little attention to how important it is
to the region's economy except when there's a crisis."

LIBN at 50: 1953-2003; 1958: The start of the Townsend era(Long Island Business News (LIBN), 1958, By Adina Genn)"Mitchel Field was like when young soldiers go to war and have their defining moment,"
says Hank Boerner, a Commercial Review reporter in the mid-1960s. "This became Paul's motivation for running
a hard-hitting, crusading newspaper, and we followed it. It shaped the rest of us because we heard so much
about it." Boerner later managed public relations for American Airlines, the Long Island Railroad and the
New York Stock Exchange before becoming a private consultant. "Working with him was like fireworks going
on. At weekly staff meetings he'd shape our coverage by inspiration. Some of us would get it and some
wouldn't. Sometimes we'd roll our eyes and say, 'Here comes another bridge,'" referring to a proposed
bridge stretching from Long Island to Connecticut that Townsend pushed for.

Advertising Invades the Legal Profession(Newsday, June 16, 1983, By Rita Ciolli)It was just 20 years ago that the partners in a prominent Manhatten law firm were censured
for offending the traditions of the legal profession. They had allowed themselves to be profiled in a Life magazine
article. Now billboards and television ads by lawyers are becoming commonplace. In the old days a lawyer who wanted
to build his reputation and attract client campaigned for the town council and the schoolboard and attended Kiwanis luncheons.
Membership in a high-class country club was another ticket to developing a good practice.
